Lyrics
Before we got married you'd love me almost everyday
Now you only love my credit card I still pay
You once said you'd love me till the bitter end
But, that was when you were drunk passing out on Gin
If I only knew then what I know now
I would not have married you saying all them sacred vows
you had me going from the start I was even thinking I was smart woo ooh ooh
if I only knew then what I know now
Now you're just drinking beer and laying around
Eating and watching Opra gaining more and more pounds
After 2 years I've finally had enough when I said
get your big but out I've packed your stuff
In 2 weeks you came back wanting to come home
just when I started out having fun on my own
The dog growled when you said that you'd be true
So I guess my heart and my dog told me we were thru
